Town Board Restores Funding for Arts Groups
Money available because of smaller than budgeted increase in health insurance
The Huntington Town Board, at its January 10 meeting, voted to restore 90 percent of the cuts in funding for arts programs contained in the 2012 Town Budget, a move made possible by an increase in employee medical insurance premiums that was significantly less than forecast by the State when the budget was being prepared.
In sponsoring the resolution to restore $210,105 in grants to groups ranging from the Huntington Arts Council (for the Summer Arts Festival) to historical societies and museums, Supervisor Frank P. Petrone fulfilled a commitment to arts groups that the funding would be revisited once final 2011 revenues and projected 2012 costs had been compiled.
“It was never a question of whether these arts groups deserved to be funded at their previous levels – we all know how much the arts contribute to Huntington’s quality of life -- but rather whether in these difficult fiscal times, funding at that level would prompt a tax increase Town residents should not have to bear,” Supervisor Petrone said. “Happily, as the final numbers became available, so did the money to restore 90 percent of the cuts.”
In August, as the budget was being prepared, a division of the State Department of Civil Service advised the Town to include an 18 percent increase in health insurance premiums for Town workers. However, in December, after the 2012 budget had become final, the State advised that the increase would only be three percent – a $3 million saving in expected costs. The restored arts funding is coming from the $3 million. The Town has also modified its proposal in negotiations with unions representing Town employees to reflect the smaller premium increase.

Four Take Oaths at 2012 Town Inaugural
Council Members Berland and Cook, Town Clerk Raia and Tax Receiver Bivona offer remarks after swearing-in
Greenlawn – Susan Berland and Eugene Cook were sworn as Town Council Members and Jo-Ann Raia and Ester Bivona took the oaths of office as Town Clerk and Receiver of Taxes, respectively, as the Town of Huntington held its 2012 Inaugural Ceremony at Harborfields High School January 8.
Approximately 250 people attended the 90-minute ceremony, for which Supervisor Frank Petrone acted as master of ceremonies and Councilmen Mark Cuthbertson and Mark Mayoka also participated.
In her remarks after taking the oath, Councilwoman Berland, who is beginning her 11th year in office, spoke of the need to balance the sometimes conflicting goals of holding down spending while maintaining important services. “We must not lose sight of what makes us the Town we are – what makes us the community we are – and what makes us the people that we are,’ she said. “While it is imperative that we do everything we can to minimize the burdens on our taxpayers and to grow our tax base, it is just as important to sustain the outstanding level of services that is the foundation for our quality of life. Whether it’s providing educational programs for every age group, creating recreational opportunities for all or caring for our seniors – our Town provides so much to so many people.”
